• Iowa band The White Elephant recently wrapped up a successful Kickstarter campaign, raising $5,360 to record a new album, due out on April. Congratulate them when they play the Gas Lamp at 9 p.m. Saturday. It’s $5 to get in, and Christopher the Conquered, Mumford’s and Viva Montesa also are playing.

• The ridiculously named winter storm Draco caused a few shows to be postponed and canceled last week, including the Jim Brickman show scheduled for Dec. 20 at Stephens Auditorium in Ames, which has been rescheduled for Jan. 31. Previously purchased tickets will be honored.

• If you want to start planning for next year’s holidays early, The Oak Ridge Boys are set to play Hoyt Sherman Place Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, 2013.
